fiumi his passing' Shoes, of wma 'zum replaced by a new section. Theouter faces of the edges of the member l preferably project slightlybeyond the outer faces oi the member 2 but if desired the'outer face ofthe member 2 may be arranged to cooperate With the outerface of themember l to grip the ground and to save the edges or' the latter'fronibeing broken away.

In Fig. 7 is shown the sole of a boot to which is applied a toe pieceand a heel piece bent to the form illustrated in Figs. and 6, stripssecured around the edge of the sole and av longitudinal strip securedalong the middle of the sole, which arrangement has been found verysuitable for golf shoes.

In F ig. 8 is shown a toe piece, a heel piece and vtwo V-shaped bars,one consisting of two sections and the other of a strip bent to thedesired shape. This arrangement is very suitable for walking slices.

In Fig. 9 is shown a toe piece, a heel piece and a series of cross-barssuitable for football boots.

In Fig. l0 is shown a continuous strip bent and secured entirely aroundthe sole, and a similar strip, though prete ably stronger, bent andsecured around the heel.

It will be readily understood that a Worn part of a continuous strip maybe out oil', removed and replaced by a new section, or the strip may beapplied in sections and any Lieaeeo worn section subsequently removedand replaced by a new section.

Having thus described my invention What l claim is :H

1. new article of manufacture, comprising a non-slipping attachment forthe ot boots and shoes, having a channelshaped member of non-slippingmaterial, a second member fitting Within said channel and formed with alongitudinal groove and a length of Wire fitting Within saidlongitudinal groove.

In non-slipping attachments for the Hexible solesv of boots and shoes, arectangular frictional strip or rubber able to easily contorni duringuse Without buckling or set to deformation in and out of its oWn plane,of indeterminate length, capable of being cut into sections, eachsection comprising a channel, and a complementary locking portionpliable out ot its own plane fitting within said channel, constructedand arranged to receive means for securing said sectional strip towhatever character of bending surface desired, and a securing means forsaid sectional strip.
